About Coulombs per metre
The coulomb per metre (C/m) is the SI coherent unit of linear charge density, equal to 1 A·s·m⁻¹. A typical lightning return stroke carries about 2-5 C/m along the channel; heavily charged surfaces like Van de Graaff sphere surfaces are described in C/m² (surface), but a thin wire coated with 1 C of charge per metre has a C/m linear density. Textbook Gauss's law problems routinely use C/m for infinite line-charge problems. 1 C/m = 10³ mC/m.
About Megacoulombs per metre
The megacoulomb per metre (MC/m) equals 10⁶ C/m, far beyond any engineered conductor but arising in theoretical models of dense plasma pinches, astrophysical jets, and extreme pulsed-power scenarios. Z-pinch experiments driving MA-scale currents through thin wires involve MC/m-scale charge redistribution during the implosion phase; magnetohydrodynamic models of solar flare current sheets use MC/m in scaling analyses. 1 MC/m = 10⁶ C/m = 10³ kC/m.
